| Beschrijving voorzijde | The field bears a multi-line Persian legend in bold, fluid naskh script filling the entire flan, reading the full honorific title of the ruler: Nawab Muhammad Jalal al-Din Khan Bahadur Babi. The inscription is arranged in three or four horizontal registers across the deeply hammered gold surface, with no additional decorative border or device. The style is characteristic of nazrana presentation coinage produced for the Radhanpur princely court, emphasizing calligraphic artistry over pictorial imagery. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field displays a multi-line Persian legend in bold naskh script, recording the mint name and the Hijri regnal date AH 1333. The inscription occupies the full flan in the manner typical of hammered Indian princely gold coinage, with the date prominently placed among the lines of text. The uneven flan edges and granular surface texture are consistent with the hand-struck nazrana tradition of the Radhanpur state. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Radhanpur was among the smaller Muslim-ruled princely states of Gujarat, covering barely 1,900 square miles and perpetually overshadowed by its larger neighbors. Muhammad Jalaluddin Khan acceded to the gaddi in 1895 and ruled until his death in 1919 — a tenure marked more by administrative compliance with the British Political Agency than by any independent monetary ambition. The nazrana designation matters here: these were not struck for circulation but as presentation pieces, ceremonially gifted to mark occasions of state, and their gold weight reflects status rather than transactional value.
